If you find the idea of one night stands appealing, then this is the perfect read for you. Unaware of the risks of casual rampant sex, you might fall prey to endless risks and sexually transmitted diseases.

From safe sex to STD screenings and your current partner's sexual history, today we're telling you why one night stands are not such a great idea. Here are 5 major risks of one night stands - 5 risks that every adult must be weary of. And do your friends a favour - share this must-read list with them too!

Depression is linked to one night stands. Other than sexually transmitted diseases, alcoholism and depression is also linked to one night stands. Many studies have time and again proved that the shorter the relationships, the higher are the chances of depression. Also, rampant sex tends to put future relations in jeopardy as trust becomes elusive and cheating becomes common.

Stress due to lack of commitments . Since one night stands come with no commitments, they cause one of the two, or both, partners undue stress due to their 'no strings attached' nature. Such indulgences need to be treated with caution as they can emotionally weaken you and lead to long term stress arising from an incomplete and non-satisfactory emotional fulfillment.

One night stands without condoms are a bad idea. There is some merit to the idea of carrying a condom with you whether or not you're accustomed to and expecting a one night stand. Man or woman, carrying condoms is a must if you want to avoid unwanted pregnancies or sexually transmitted diseases.

Alcohol and drugs when combined with one night stands are a lethal combination. Alcohol and drugs destroy and in no way up your sexual experience. Infact, they can influence your decision-making process and allow you to indulge in risky (and unhealthy!) behaviour. Apart from being poor decision influencers, they are also responsible for many lifestyle diseases.
